Murder story of Usvyaty Jews in the Usvyaty Ghetto

Those gansters [the Germans] announced a day off for all the Jews in the camp. Of course, we were happy to hear that and went separately to the dwellings assigned to us here at the camp. After less than an hour we learned that the Germans had lined up 24 Jews on the camp square and were going to shoot them. Within 20 minutes we were sure that this was their real intention. Indeed, the Germans brought 24 Jews to the camp square, the majority of the Jews were the most good looking young women and men. I remember many of them by their first and last names. Here are their names: the Sudkovs sisters Hasya and Vera, the Horosh brothers, Moisey and …, a young man Nakhmanson - 17 years old, Enkin – 16 years old, an 18-year old girl named Blackman from Mogilev, Fanya Arshanskaya, 15, [a young woman named] Paltseva – 19 or 20, Itska Sandler a 13-year old boy, … and Sholom Golomshtok, age 16 . Together with them the Germans shot the following old people: Lyusya Sandler 70 years old, Shaya Epshtein, 70, and the family of Baskin, who had already been hanged by the Germans.
